An Integrated Vision

Our vision is to make Lower Hutt a great place to live, work and play. That is, a city where our people are proud to live, where working and investing here is a smart choice, and where there’s always something for our families to explore.

The Integrated Vision identifies the strengths and aspirations of our communities, identifies the contribution that each makes to the city and the region, and proposes opportunities for them to further develop.

Four key strategies have been developed that define and illustrate this vision

A set of assumptions are specified in our Integrated Vision that introduce the key concepts in these four Strategies. They include building on the existing strengths of our community, applying economic development and environmental sustainability principles, rationalising costs through partnerships and integration, developing our regional and sub-regional destinations, asset renewal and enhancing social connections.

These Strategies provide short, mid and long-term goals and targets that will ensure that our nine community outcomes are met to a very high standard.
